Our Program Options
We do not require any proof of identification or financial status from our service users.
We provide groceries (not pre-made meals), and we have two options to access them. You can visit the food bank once a week. Please bring your own grocery bags to take your items!
Drop-In Grocery Program
Our in-person grocery program offers a simple way to access free, healthy groceries right here in the Parkdale community. Community members can browse our food bank and choose from a wide variety of products, including fresh produce, bread, grains, pasta, sauces, soups, beans, canned meat and fish, fresh meat, vegetarian alternatives, beverages, pet food, personal care products, and more.
Visit us at 5 Brock Avenue, rear door, to access our programs and services.
Important Information For Your First Visit
The entrance to our food bank is fitted with a StopGap ramp and all aisles within the food bank are wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, and other accessibility devices.
Our volunteers and staff speak a wide variety of languages and are always happy to support with questions, concerns, and inquiries. However, we do not have professional translation services or ASL interpreters on-site at the food bank.
Wait times can be long in the mornings and on Saturdays, for a reduced wait, consider coming to the food bank after 1:30 pm on Wednesday or Thursday, or after 6:00 pm on Friday.
Please note that we do not have public washroom facilities available on-site.
We do not have parking available at the food bank, however, there is plenty of free street parking on the surrounding streets.
If you are unable to access our in-person drop-in food programming due to illness, injury, or mobility issues we encourage you to register for our delivery program.
